The Hills Of Roane County Written and recorded by The Stanley Brothers
C F C In the beautiful hills way back in Roane Country G7 There's where I roamed for many long years C F C There's where my heart's been tending most ever G7 C That's where the first step of misfortune I made
F C I was thirty years old when I courted and married G7 When Armanda Gilbreath was then called my wife C F C Her brother stabbed me for some unknown reason G7 C Just three months later I'd taken Tom's life
F C For twenty five years this whole world I rambled G7 I went to old England to France and to Spain C F C And I thought of my home way back in Roane Country G7 C I boarded a steamer and I come back again
F C I was captured and tried in the village of Kingston G7 Not a man in the country would speak a kind word C F C When the jury came in with the verdict next morning G7 C A lifetime in prison was the words that I heard
F C When the train pulled out poor mother stood weeping G7 And sister she sat alone with a sigh C F C And the last words I heard was Willie God bless you G7 C Cause Willie God bless you God bless you goodbye
F C No matter what happened to me in Roane County G7 No matter how long my sentence may be C F C I love my old home way back in Roane County G7 C It's way back down in old east Tennessee
F C Sweet Martha was grave but Corey was better G7 There's better and worse although you can see C F C Boys when you write home from the prison in Nashville G7 C Place one of my songs in your letter for me
